EARLY YEARS 4 | UNIT 1
UNIT OF INQUIRY
WHO WE ARE
Through play, discussion, and shared experiences, children will develop an understanding of their own identity, recognising their interests, strengths, and what makes them unique. At the same time, they will explore what it means to be part of a group—learning how to work and play with others, listen, take turns, and contribute to a positive community. This unit supports the development of social and emotional skills while fostering a sense of belonging and respect for others.
SYMBOLIC EXPLORATION & EXPRESSION IN LITERACY
ON-GOING UNIT
Students will explore language, symbols, and stories through play, talk, and creativity. They will engage in rich conversations, enjoy songs and rhymes, and notice sounds and patterns in words. They will experiment with drawing, mark-making, and writing for real purposes, including their own names. They will use art, role play, and dramatic play to share ideas and feelings. They will enjoy books, ask questions, retell stories, and connect print with meaning, building strong foundations for literacy.
SYMBOLIC EXPLORATION & EXPRESSION IN NUMERACY
ON-GOING UNIT
Students will understand that numbers, shapes, patterns, and symbols help us make sense of the world. They will use mathematical language to describe ideas, solve problems, and explain their thinking. They will explore symbols, marks, and materials to represent quantities, patterns, and relationships. They will enjoy stories, songs, and play as opportunities for rich numeracy learning. Through inquiry, real-life experiences, and collaborative conversations, they will connect mathematics to their lives, express ideas in many ways, and build joyful confidence in numeracy.
